Industrial and manufacturing organizations operate in a regulatory minefield. Indirect tax (sales tax, VAT, GST), SOX-style internal controls, cross-border trade rules, hazardous materials documentation, sustainability reporting, pick your flavor. The fun part is that “small” gaps rarely stay small. They turn into fines, delayed shipments, audit findings, and that special kind of meeting where everyone suddenly remembers they had “concerns for a while.” Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain...

In industrial organizations, order fulfillment isn’t a single handoff. It’s a chain reaction. Configured products. Long lead times. Partial shipments. Backorders. Engineering changes. Drop-ship orders. Intercompany fulfillment. Warehouse waves. Carrier appointments. And the occasional “we definitely have it… somewhere.” Every step introduces risk—and every missed handoff shows up later as margin erosion, late revenue, invoice disputes, or a customer escalation that begins with: “Just checking in…” (Spoiler alert: they were...

Supplier risk used to be a “special topic” reserved for global disruptions. In 2026, it’s a daily operating condition, especially when a supplier’s “confirmed” date keeps moving like it’s on a treadmill. If you’re running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management (F&SCM), procurement isn’t just about price. It’s about keeping the business running predictably. And predictable beats “technically we had a contract” every time. Here’s the Logan perspective:...

Most organizations don’t realize they have an Accounts Receivable problem until cash gets tight and the CFO starts checking the bank balance like it’s a live sports score. Revenue can look great. Sales can be growing. The pipeline can be “robust.” But cash doesn’t move when revenue is booked. It moves when customers pay — and the space between invoice and payment is where control is either built… or quietly...

Cash flow has always mattered. In 2026, it’s the difference between “we can” and “we can’t.” Volatility turned cash from a monthly metric into a daily operating constraint. Logan Consulting’s quick take: most organizations don’t have a forecasting problem. They have a control problem. The spreadsheet forecast becomes an emotional support animal—comforting, familiar, and only loosely connected to what’s happening in the business. The good news: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance...

The Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management 10.0.47 release continues Microsoft’s push toward a more scalable, high-performance ERP—particularly for organizations running high transaction volumes, global tax complexity, and advanced warehouse operations. Rather than introducing major net-new modules, this release focuses on: Performance baked directly into the platform Fewer feature toggles and legacy behaviors Stronger audibility and operational controls Below is a breakdown of new features, enhancements, and removed functionality...

A Logan Consulting POV on synchronizing inventory, production, and quality — for today’s distributed manufacturers In the modern supply chain, manufacturers rarely run a single plant with a single set of constraints. Whether it’s a domestic headquarter site plus regional facilities, contract manufacturers on the other side of the world, or a blend of owned and third‑party production, the multi‑site paradigm is now the norm, not the exception. But while...

As supply chains grow more digital and interconnected, EDI security in 2026 has moved far beyond basic transport encryption. For organizations running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) Supply Chain Management, EDI is a core system of record—not a peripheral integration. That makes EDI security a critical component of operational resilience, compliance, and customer trust. In a D365 F&O environment, one failed or compromised EDI transaction can ripple directly...

At Logan Consulting, we know that even the best Microsoft Dynamics 365 environments need a tune-up now and then. Whether it’s a workflow that isn’t running smoothly, a reporting issue that won’t resolve, or a question about new functionality, small issues can pile up and slow your team down. That’s why we’re introducing Tech Medic Hours: quick, hands-on troubleshooting and optimization sessions designed to help you resolve Dynamics 365 Finance &...

Businesses using a call center know it’s a vital sales channel for building personal customer relationships, but it also presents a unique vulnerability: fraudulent transactions. Unlike many e-commerce platforms with instant address verification services (AVS) and card security codes, call center agents are often relying on the information provided by the person at the other end of the line. Manual review procedures for every order are slow, inefficient, and can...
